Yah need natural gas at the residence... and a generator that runs on it.
The price of Freedom is the willingness to do sudden battle, anywhere, any time and with utter recklessness...

...at home, or abroad.

Fortunately my power was only out for 5 hours Sunday night.  My office did not get power back until Monday about 2000.  Free day off!!!

I lost some shingles, which the roofer is replacing as I type.  No other damage fortunately.

My mother-in-law in Lancaster is still without power.  They estimate Friday before she gets it back.

My heart goes out to those in Texas. after being without power for three days,
I now realise how these folks feel. Good luck getting back to a normal life Texas, and
surronding areas.
